    Hi

    I setup a custom table with a custom post type and front end submission form. There are no issues with the form. But I noticed when there is 0 posts and you create the first ever post using the front end form, the posts single page returns a 404 message, even though the post is in the database. If I manually force the refresh of permalinks in wordpress it fixes the issue. Is this normal behaviour?

    thanks

    Hello Nick,

    It could be a caching issue on your site. I don't see that on my demo site. After creating the first post in the frontend, it is accessed properly.

    Hi

    I dont have any caching enabled on my localhost machine, I have submitted the post using the ajax form and it links to a custom table. Not that it should affect this. I have re-tested quite a few times and it only does it when there is no existing posts in the database (so the first post using the front end form).

    I will keep looking to see if i can find out any more information.

    here is the metabox code I'm using to create the posts for a custom post type of 'product'. Is it an issue with custom post types and tables?

    $meta_boxes[] = [
	'title'   => 'Products',
	'post_types' => 'Product',
	'storage_type' => 'custom_table',
	'table'        => $wpdb->prefix . 'dc_products', 
	'id'      => 'dc-product',
	'context' => 'normal',
	'fields'  => [
		[
			'type'  => 'text',
			'name'  => 'Title',
			'id'    => 'post_title', 
			'class' => 'dc-post-title',
			'limit' => 50, //default character length
			'required' => true,
		],
		[
			'type'  => 'textarea',
			'name'  => 'Description', 
			'id'    => 'description', 
			'required' => true,
		],
		[
			'type'  => 'number',
			'name'  => 'Price', 
			'id'    => 'price', 
			'step'  => '.01', //two decimal places e.g. 0.00
			'placeholder'  => '0.00',
			'required' => true,
		],
		[
			'type'  => 'number',
			'name'  => 'Sale Price', 
			'id'    => 'sale_price', 
			'step'  => '.01', //two decimal places e.g. 0.00
			'placeholder'  => '0.00',
			'required' => false,
		],
		[
			'type'  => 'select',
			'name'  => 'Condition', 
			'id'    => 'condition_id', 
			'options' => (new DripCreateProductCondition())->conditionTypes,
			'multiple' => false,
			'placeholder' => "",
			'select_all_none' => false,
			'required' => true,
		],
		[
			'type'  => 'text',
			'name'  => 'SKU', 
			'id'    => 'sku', 
			'limit' => 10,
			'required' => false,
		],
	],
];

    Hello Nick,

    I make a test on my local site with your fields but don't see that issue, here is the screen record https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qXIh26Qf6S60XcZcUbVLUocVtPllBai7/view?usp=sharing

    I also notice the setting 'post_types' => 'Product', the post slug should be in lowercase product. Please correct the slug and try this again on a clean installation then see how it goes.

    Hi

    Yes i have tried a new installation with the lowercase 'product' post type as the same issue persists. When i manually clear the permalink cache it works, if i dont i see a 404 page if i try to visit the custom post type single page. I found a old post https://support.metabox.io/topic/permalink-issue-with-custom-post-type/ which said that using /%postname%/permalink structure had issues (which is what im using) but is not clear on what the solution was at the time. If I use the 'plain' permalink wordpress structure there is no problem when replicating the above.

    any ideas? As the problem seems very intermittent and i have tried over 10 times and only one of those times of replicating that the /%postname%/permalink structure worked without manually refreshing permalinks.

    thanks

    Hi Peter,

    I cannot as im working on a local development project and is not available online.

    Its a difficult one to alway replicate, must be something to do with WordPress. I have no cache enabled. I will try and get a video of the issue but the post appears in the database ok, just the 404 when viewing the permalink for the page

    Nick
